Abstract

In this note, we address the question of how large a stochastic perturbation an asymptotically stable linear functional differential system can tolerate without losing the property of being pathwise asymptotically stable. In particular, we investigate noise perturbations that are either independent of the state or influenced by the current and past states. For perturbations independent of the state, we prove that the assumed rate of fading for the noise is optimal.
